Multi User Web Chat
I wanted to share with you different ways you can web chat with multi users. When doing this research I realized that there really isn't too many sites that offer this service for free. Most sites either charge for using there service or limit the amount of users that can be online at one time. Here are a couple that I would recommend trying out:
TokBox – Invite up to 20 people to a chat. Share presentations, documents and videos. Send pre-recorded video messages. Instant message with contacts from Gmail, AIM, etc. TinyChat – Tinychat is a dead simple, free to use video/audio/desktop chat system. It is entirely web based, requires no downloads or plugins (aside from Flash) and works on all browsers and operating systems. I have used this before and is pretty easy to use.
I hope you find these resources as helpful as I have.
Free Screen Sharing For People And Businesses
How would you like to be able to host online meetings, web conferences, product demonstrations, web presentations, remote support and webinars for FREE? Yes you read that right for FREE!
Mikogo is a free desktop sharing tool with features to help you conduct an awesome online meeting or web conference. You can share any screen content or application over the internet in great quality with up to 10 participants involved at no cost.
How Mikogo works is that you, the session organizer starts a session from their desktop and is given a unique session id. Give the Mikogo url along with the session id. The participant can then go to Mikogo and click Join Session and enter the session id you gave them and they will then be able to view your desktop screen.
This service is free because they offer a paid version with more features which allows them to give this service away for free use. They provide high security and you can use this application on either Windows or Mac.
I really like this service and have used it a couple of times with my mom to show her how to do a few things on her computer. It was really easy to use and my mom didn't have any problems using it either.
